If anyone is getting together in SF, I have an extra basket hilt sword. I was wondering about the legalities of carrying a sword while passing out flyers and candy though. Since it's part of the religious apparel, I don't see how it can be against the law, however trying to explain a sword and a pirate outfit to the SFPD while holding pamphlets of The Flying Spaghetti Monster might seem a bit unorthodox.

Hello fellow Pastafarians! I live in the hills right above Sac, but if planned far enough into the future, can easily make it to any good sized gathering in the bay area. I still need to pick me up a pirate outfit and sword.
